Tamsen Webster explains standing: the credibility that makes others take your idea seriously, separate from whether the idea itself is actually good. Without standing, even solid ideas get ignored.
Standing, this idea of credibility, is what makes an idea valid to other people, not just you. And let me be clear, this isn't about whether or not the idea is good. That comes later. It's about whether or not someone's brain decides, should I spend a few of my precious cells even listening to this in the first place? It still ultimately comes down to whether or not the idea can survive on its own.
